Dynamite Entertainment announces that Black Bat #1 will be hitting the shelves in May 2013 and brings together writer Brian Buccellato and artist Ronan Cliquet. Currently Buccellato is doing an amazing job co writing 'The Flash' with Francis Manapul and gets to play in the Dynamite sandbox.

"If you are reading Dynamites 'Masks', or know this classic pulp character," says Matman, "Than you know who the Black Bat is."

In case you don't know who the Black Bat is, Tony Quinn is a defense attorney for the mob, one who compromises his ethics for financial gain. However, when he refuses to cross the line and commit murder, he is tortured and blinded by his gangster employers. But then, a fortuitous meeting with a covert agency gives him a chance to make amends, and Tony dons the dark mantle of the Black Bat in his redemptive quest to right the wrongs of his past.
